Product Description
This volume was published in 1906.Be sure to look for other great history books written by this author.In some books he is
listed as Charles Oman.

From the book's Preface:

From time to time I have found it necessary to rewrite portions
of this book, in order to keep it abreast with modern discoveries.
In the second edition some sixty pages had to be more or less
recast.Many small changes have been made since then, and
in this latest edition I have thought it well to reconstruct the
whole of Chapter II, which deals with the origins of the Greek
nationality.Archaeological evidence on the prehistoric days of
the Aegean lands has been accumulating so fast of late that
the whole section required revision.The excavations of Mr.
A. J. Evans in Crete were enough by themselves to cause the
introduction of several new paragraphs.

I have also made appreciable changes in my narratives of some
of the battles of the fifth century b.c., mainly in consequence
of reading the very interesting monographs of Mr. Grundy, to
whom I must express my gratitude.

A word of thanks must be given to many correspondents, --
some known to the author, some strangers to him, -- who have
written to make suggestions, and to point out errors in the
previous editions.Most of them will note that their advice has
been taken into consideration, and all will understand that it was
duly appreciated.
